Sir AlgernOn Borthwick is the editor of
the MorHjHg Post, which is the fashionable
organ of London society. 1t is well-writ-
ten, cleanly printed paper 1t prints the
Reuter- kilograms and few specials from
the continental cities. Its advertising pa
tronage is very large. The feature of the
NOraiHg Past, however, is the printing of
social news. 1t is the one paper which
prints the court circular every day in full,
wherein the movements of the Queen and
different members OF the royal family are
recited with the hack phases of the market
reports in the America newspapers 4 ball
or reception is not considered fashion
able unless it is reported in the Post This
kind of fashionable intelligence is the
source of great revenue to the paper, and
it's method of printing this kind of news is
unques;ioned and accepted rs matter OF
course by the members of London society.
Every notice Of the movement Of people is
paid for at so much line. Reports OF
parties and dinners are charged for at
space rates If the Hon. John Smith
wishes to cast gloom over society by the
announcement that he is about TO leave
London for a few days to 60 to the conn
try, or if he wishes to thrill London soci-
ety with the announcement that his wife
will be 1T home on certain days, these
bits OF intelligence can he cOmmuni-
Gated TO the public at the rate
of one guinea for each five lines.
The space rates of the Morning
Pod for society reports are about 75 guin-
cas- a column. \ wealthy tradesman from
Vienna, who came to London to be mar
ried, WAS very anxious to have report of
the marriage printed i'll the Morning Post.
He came to his friend and asked him if he
could arrange it. He replied that he
thought so, as he knew one of the sub
editors of the Post. He called upon him
and asked him about it. Certainly, "
said be, 'it is a mere matter of business.
Ii is very easily arranged. How much
would your friend like "A third of a
column will do him." That will cost
twenty-five guineas." This amount was
handed over, and the next morning the
Vienna merchant was thrilled with pride
and Joy at the sugar-coated paragraphs
giving the account of the wedding, with
the names of the distinguished people pres
ent and the toilets of the ladies.
Sir AlgernOn BOrthwick is a member of
Parliament and the editor of \ paper whose
power is almost distinctly social. II is
said that the manuscript upon which all
the copy of his Office is prepared is pink
| tinted and that it is written with violet
colOred and perfumed ink by elegant
young men who sit in the office late at
night in evening dress. and prepare with
| languid ease these guinea paragraphs
which have made Sir Algernon a proud
member OF Parliament and very wealthy
business man. Sir Algernon BOrthwick,
at the London Press Club dinner, main
tanned throughout the banquet his character
as a high social magnate He wore lilac kid
gloves all through the dinner. 1t is said
that he is the only man in London society
who always wears lilac kid gloves. He is
the only man who persistently wears them
through every dinner TO which he is in
yited. He has small figure, a round
head. slightly inclined to be bald. His
hair is dark and partly gray. His COM
plexiOn is a clear olive. His eyes are
dark blue, deeply set under bulging fore
head. His nose is q slight pug. 1t Is
serious flaw in the aristOcratic repose OF
his high society face. The lower part OF
his countenance is hidden by mustache
and full iron-gray beard.
